mroverkill Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 ok Thanks for the input so far allFrom what i know but can be wrong only premium was used. Once i have the car here and i tare it apart i will see the damage. From i have seen so far the factory tune at times was not sensitive enough to catch the knock.My total goals as of now is1. catback exhaust (maybe total exhaust) want sound but DO NOT WANT TO SOUND LIKE A RICER2. bov3. better TMIC4. maybe a VF52 in a s2 setupall in stagesBut from what i seen so far a stock bottom end with a PROPER tune should have no issues holding together.

Max Capacity Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 IMO, the stock BOV is fine. Grimmspeed makes the best TMIC. I loved the vf52, its a fun reliable daily driver even on stock fueling. A 3" catted Dp will be needed for best performance. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

mroverkill Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I want the bov hehe I'm fond of my daytonas rfl bov lol From what I have seen on the posts so far The bottle necks to get to a "s2" setup and please correct me if I am wrong 1. Stock dp back 2. Stock bov (leaks order higher boost) 3. Turbo becomes ineffective under highboost 4. Stock intercooler ineffective under highboost (a tmic greemspeed is recommended) 5. Camshafts ? The good thing is other then the camshafts (if I actually go that route) is most is bolt on that I can do little by little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The 3" Dp is a must for performance. Cams are not needed unless your looking for big HP. VF52 or bigger, depends on your HP goals , which are what ? Yes to GS tmic. Oh, and a great Tuner. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

NORULZleggy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Make sure you add some GSC bits to your heads, It really helps out. I am not saying build the heads but add some better parts in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Venting to atmosphere is a noise maker that while somewhat attractive can cause other issues. You are creating a leak post maf so the ecm can not correct for the loss of air and you go rich. I had a sticky explaining all of this and how to use a hybrid Bpv to attain better throttle response, some noise, and minimze the rich condtion to 1/10th of 1 second.
